How to Groom A Dog at Home:Dog Teeth Cleaning We all love a dog with clean teeth and sweet breath, and dog tooth cleaning only takes a few minutes a day. Keeping your dog's teeth clean can prevent not only dental and gum problems such as tartar and plaque build-up, but it can also prevent problems of the heart, liver, and kidneys... Dog Ear Cleaning Cleaning dog ears is one important thing that all dog parents should do regularly because it is an important way to prevent some common canine health problems. Dogs' ears, especially those long and floppy ones, are the perfect hiding places for earmites, as well as the breeding ground for bacteria and yeast. If your dog's ears are not cleaned regularly to get rid of these bugs and micro-organisms, serious infections can result... Dog Bathing Most dog parents think that dogs do not like bathing. However, if done right, most dogs actually do not mind taking a bath - and some even enjoy it a lot. The most important thing is to train your dog to like taking a bath and to make the bathing experience less scary and stressful and more enjoyable... Removing Skunk Smell Dog sprayed by skunks is no laughing matter because the sulphuric spray is not only extremely foul smelling, but it can also blind a dog for up to two days if it hits the dog's eyes. In addition, it is very difficult to get the spray out of a dog's coat... Dog Nail Trimming Trimming dog nails is a very important part of dog grooming. Yet many dog parents choose to pay a vet or a groomer to do the job because many dogs put up a fight when it comes to dog nail trimming. However, if you train your dog properly, you too can trim and cut your dog's nails... Expressing Anal Glands When a dog's anal glands become inactive, the anal gland ducts may become clogged, the glands will then be overfilled with secretion, and a condition called "anal gland impaction" results. Impacted anal glands have to be emptied and they can be emptied out manually by a veterinarian or a groomer. You can also try to do it yourself if you don't mind the smell... Dog Shedding All dogs shed - even the nearly hairless breeds such as Mexican Hairless dogs do so. We cannot stop our dogs from shedding; however, we can do several things to keep stray hair to a minimum. As well, if your dog sheds excessively, it may be an indication that his skin is not as healthy as it should be. There are many natural treatments that promote healthy skin and coat. Let's look at what we can do when dog shedding is giving us a headache... Removing Dog Tear Stains If you have a light-colored miniature or toy breed dog (e.g. Poodle, Pekinese, Chihuahua and Maltese), you will no doubt notice tear stains on the skin and hair below the inside corners of your dog's eyes. The stains are usually pinkish to brownish in color. The tear stains are caused by a reaction of the tears with the normal bacteria on the hair and skin on the dog's face...Related Topics Dog Odor Dog Urine Cleaning TOP of How to Groom a Dog |
